About Dr Lee Hanjing
Dr Lee Hanjing graduated from Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medicine, University of London, before completing her postgraduate training at the National University Hospital (NUH) in 2016.

She is a Fellow of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (Plastic Surgery) and a member of the Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons.
Her clinical interests span both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, including paediatric plastic surgery, craniofacial and facial fracture surgery, and breast reconstruction. Her cosmetic practice encompasses blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, fat grafting, liposuction, abdominoplasty, and the mummy makeover.
Beyond her clinical work, Dr Lee is committed to giving back. Since 2010, she has volunteered on medical missions across Myanmar, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, performing corrective surgery for children with cleft lip and palate, ear deformities, and related conditions. She remains deeply dedicated to this cause and welcomes support from those who share her commitment.
Dr Lee believes that plastic surgery holds a unique capacity to shape both physical form and personal confidence. She is honoured by the trust her patients place in her and approaches every consultation with care, precision, and discretion.
Who Should Consult Dr Lee Hanjing?
1. Women Seeking Aesthetic Procedures
Many women prefer consulting a female plastic surgeon for intimate or body-focused aesthetic concerns. Dr Lee provides a supportive, private, and non-judgmental environment to discuss options like facial rejuvenation, breast enhancement, body contouring, and mommy makeovers, ensuring ample time to reflect without pressure.
2. Women Requiring Reconstructive Surgery
For patients undergoing cancer surgery or trauma recovery, Dr Lee manages the entire reconstructive journey from initial consultation to final aesthetic refining. Reconstructive procedures (such as post-mastectomy breast reconstruction) may be claimable through MediSave or private insurance.
3. Families Seeking Paediatric Plastic Surgery
With dedicated subspecialty training in paediatric plastic and craniofacial surgery, Dr Lee treats infants, children, and teenagers for facial lacerations, burns, ear deformities, and congenital cleft conditions with a focus on minimising visible scarring.
4. Men Seeking Discreet Plastic Surgery
Male patients seeking treatment for gynecomastia (male breast reduction), post-weight-loss contouring, or facial refinement receive discreet, individual consultations in a quiet hospital-based setting at Mount Alvernia Hospital.
Dr Lee Hanjing's Approach to Plastic Surgery
Dr Lee Hanjing is trained at the highest levels and remains deeply committed to both reconstructive and aesthetic work. Her practice is built around four principles:
- Personalised Consultation Process: Every consultation is conducted directly by Dr Lee Hanjing. A detailed medical, surgical, and aesthetic history is taken, allowing dedicated time to discuss individual goals and clinical suitability before any procedure is considered.
- Individualised Treatment Assessment: Surgical planning is tailored to each patient. Facial and body anatomy, skin quality, and underlying tissue structures are thoroughly assessed to determine an appropriate clinical approach for your specific needs.
- Transparent Patient Care: Surgical steps, recovery timelines, and expected outcomes are discussed clearly prior to proceeding. In line with the Ministry of Health (MOH) requirements, a mandatory one-week cooling-off period is observed for all local cosmetic surgery patients, ensuring ample time for informed decision-making.
- Integrated Plastic & Reconstructive Care: Our clinic provides both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery services within a single practice, offering continuity of care for patients with complex or multi-faceted clinical requirements.

What to Expect at Argent Plastic Surgery
1. Initial Consultation

- Together, you review your anatomy, skin quality, muscle and fat distribution, and expectations for the outcome.
- A bespoke surgical plan is provided, covering timing, approach, anaesthesia, recovery timeline, risks, and costs.
- There is time to ask questions, and Dr Lee Hanjing ensures every patient feels comfortable and well-informed before any decision is made.
2. Pre-Operative Preparation
- Medical clearance may be required, including blood tests and imaging where indicated.
- Instructions are given regarding medications, lifestyle factors such as smoking cessation, and activity limitations before and after surgery.
- Informed consent is central to the process, with both benefits and safety considerations discussed in detail.
- A minimum one-week cooling period is observed between consultation and surgery for local patients, in accordance with MOH guidelines.
Surgery and Immediate Post-Operative Care
- Surgery is performed at Mount Alvernia Hospital under appropriate anaesthesia, with a licensed anaesthetist present throughout.
- Patients under Dr Lee Hanjing’s care receive direct surgical treatment from Dr Lee herself throughout their procedure and recovery.
- Post-operative analgesia, compression garments where indicated, scar care, and wound monitoring protocols are in place.
- The team at Argent Plastic Surgery supports each patient through the early recovery phase, with care taken at every stage.
Recovery and Follow-Up
- Initial recovery involves swelling, bruising, and some discomfort or tightness, particularly after body lift or tummy tuck procedures, and Dr Lee Hanjing and her team monitor each patient closely.
- As healing progresses, contour, scar maturation, symmetry, and function are assessed, with adjustments to activity, diet, garments, and scar care recommended as appropriate.
- Longer-term review appointments help ensure outcomes are sustained, and minimally invasive refinements can be discussed where useful.
Insurance and Medisave
Medically necessary reconstructive procedures and selected functional surgeries may be claimable under Medisave or insurance, subject to policy criteria and individual assessment. Common examples include breast reconstruction following oncological surgery, paediatric reconstructive procedures, and certain functional repairs that address pain, loss of function, or anatomical defects.
Eligibility is determined on an individual basis during consultation. See our list of insurance partners for more information.
Is Plastic Surgery Right for You?
Plastic surgery is not a quick cosmetic fix. It is a considered decision with real benefits and real responsibilities, and the decision deserves time and reflection. During consultation at Argent Plastic Surgery, you are guided to think through:
- Your Motivation: Whether the decision is being made for yourself rather than in response to external pressure.
- Your Health Status: Whether you are medically fit for surgery, including being free of uncontrolled medical conditions, ideally a non-smoker, and within a healthy BMI range.
- Your Expectations: Whether you understand what can realistically be achieved given your anatomy, skin quality, age, and lifestyle.
- Your Time and Recovery Commitment: Whether you are ready for the downtime, compression garments, wound care, and follow-up visits that some procedures require.
These are conversations that take time, and the consultation is the place to have them. If you would like to discuss whether plastic surgery is the right path forward for you, a consultation with Dr Lee Hanjing, a female cosmetic surgeon at Argent Plastic Surgery, is a good place to start.
